Discover architecture

Design the future you want to see

RMIT ranks highly among the world's top universities for our architecture courses; a ranking that highlights our ongoing commitment to designing better ways of living in our complex and rapidly changing world.

Besides architecture, explore related disciplines such as landscape architecture, where you'll learn to combine art, science, nature and culture to design natural, urban, private and public spaces.

Our interior design courses teach you the art of creating beautiful and functional interiors, from architectural, retail, exhibition and urban environments to digital and cinematic spaces, performance and theatre design, art installations and more.

Then, urban design at RMIT explores and promotes models for future city-building, addressing issues of sustainability, social equity, and community engagement.

Interior Design at RMIT in ten minutes

We asked Suzie Attiwill, Associate Dean of Interior Design, to answer your top questions about studying interior design at RMIT.
